REGGIE: We're going to Oahu?

TITO: Yep, the whole Makani bunch is having

a big blow-out reunion party thingy.

OTTO: I can't believe I'm actually surfing in Hawaii!

REGGIE: I think it's safe to say

this is going to be the best vacation ever.

They're scary little spirits, like freaky elves

who haunt the jungles of Hawaii,

messing with anyone who gets in their way.

Whoa!

No, Manni, I don't dance!

You do now!

Raymundo just flaked on us.

He promised he'd take us and now

he's blowin' us off for some woman!

TWISTER: It's got to be here somewhere!

What are you looking for?

My swimsuit!

It went missing!

You hung it on the line with everyone else's.

I know, but now it's not there!

[ yawning]: Maybe the menehunetook it.

[ gasps]

I'm looking again.

Reggie's... Otto's... Sam's...

and now mine!

The menehunewere here!

[ screams]

What's wrong?

What happened?

Nothing-- nothing at all.

It's ancient Hawaiian tradition

to scream your lungs out first thing in the morning.

I never heard of that one before but if you say so:

[ screams]

[ chickens clucking]

Where's Raymundo?

Eating with my cousin.

The woman from last night?

The one he blew us off for?

Yo, Tito, what do you think of our competition?

Tough, but we have an advantage.

Your Dad and I have won this race many times.

Who cares if we win?

I can't wait to cr*ck the tubes Dad told us about

on the other side of Diamond Head.

[ cell phone beeping]

I'm getting a signal.

Put it away, Squid.

But I've got a signal and it's off-peak hours!

Where's Raymundo?

You made it.

Hurry up, Dad, the race is starting.

Actually, I'm going to take a pass on the race

and hang back with Noelani.

Good luck.

With a five-man team in a six-man canoe, we'll need it.

I guess priorities have changed.

OTTO: I can't believe

he'd rather hang with her than race with us.

What's so great about Noelani anyway?

Don't be dissing on my big cuz, little cuz.

Sorry.

MAN: On your mark,

get set, and go!

[ whistle blowing]

TITO: No worries, kids.

I'm hereby taking over as stand-in captain.

Grab your oars and let's get in this race.

Whoa-oh-oh.

Pull together now.

Otto, not so hard.

Sam, take longer strokes.

It's as far as my arms go!

OTTO: Tito, we're getting further behind.

I know.

Everybody, just look straight.

We're going the wrong way!

[ screams]

Jellyfish!

[ all moaning]

Whoa!

[ panting]

[ groaning]

There goes our canoe.

Oh, this is a disaster.

Can I tell you something, Squid, if you promise not to mock me?

I'm stuck in the middle of the ocean without a canoe.

I don't have the energy to mock.

I think the menehune are messing with our vacation.

No way.

What are you, crazy?

That's just an old school myth.

Think what you want, but ever since we went to that temple,

everything's gone whack.

We lost the canoe.

It's not the only thing we lost.

[ cheering]

Reggie can do anything.

She's an amazing athlete

and she even has her own 'zine.

And Otto, he's got the fire in his belly.

There's something he wants to do,

he'll keep at it until he masters it.

They seem like great kids.

They're the best.

I'll stop talking about them now.

I had a thing for you,

back when we were all just friends.

Why didn't you ever tell me?

I... guess I was scared.

Scared of what?

Of falling in love.

You're not afraid now, are you?

It's the one thing I'm not afraid of.

I've never seen

Reg and Otto so down!

Guys, I know you're bent because Raymundo bailed,

we came in dead last,

and were totally humiliated.

But we're in Hawaii!

Home of the sugarcane,

land of the lava.

So stop sulking and make with the fun!

"Land of the lava"?

Way to give it the hard sell, Squid.

Tell you what, Sammy,

we'll have fun if you'll stop writing letters

and making phone calls times a day.

Deal.

[ all cheering]

Whoo-hoo!

Check me out!

I own this wave!

Yeah!

Whoa! Hoo!

Otto disappeared!

I've got him!

[ groaning]

Get off me!

I meant to do that.

I told you-- the menehune are out to get us!

Why didn't I just leave you where I found you?

[ horses whinnying]

I pick you, Makani Pahili.

Figures, "Makani Pahili" means hurricane.

I've got dibs on Ahiu.

That means "wild."

I think I'll just stick with Kiko here.

English translation: Spot.

These horses are awesome, Raymundo.

Glad you like them.

Those are the ones you'll be riding.

OTTO: Ponies?!

Are you totally whack?

Let it go, Otto.

Why should I?

Because certain people aren't comfortable on big horses,

and if we want to ride together, we have to ride ponies.

Maybe certain people should have stayed home.

[ horses whinnying]

OTTO: I could walk faster than these stupid ponies.

KEONI: Watch it, Otto-- I think he understands English.

We'll see about that.

Giddy-up, boy!

[ sighing]: Sorry about the ponies.

I want to be closer to the ground when I fall.

You won't fall.

From your mouth to Buttercup's ears.

Well, even if you do, you won't get hurt.

Kind of like falling off a phone book.

[ laughs]

What's Twist doing?

Looking for menehune, what do you think?

Am not!

We are just tearing through my to-do list.

Aw, Squid, what is that?

I changed the "horse-racing on the beach" entry

to "pony rides."

That should be on the "to-don't" list.

This will cheer you up.

Tomorrow we can cross off "helicopter rides,"

"dune-cycle races"

and "snorkeling with giant sea turtles."

As long as she doesn't come along and wreck it all.

I don't get why Raymundo brings her around.

She's like the black hole of fun.

She's actually pretty nice and funny

and Dad does have the right to hang with someone his own age.

Tito is his own age!

Why can't he hang out with him?

[ beeps]

Anything wrong?

No... maybe... kinda.

Otto does have a point.

Things just aren't the same with Noelani around.

Hoo!

Hoo!

[ cackling laughter]

They're here!

TWISTER: And while I slept,

the menehunetook my owl.

I thought they were supposed to be afraid of them.

I guess plastic ones don't count.

REGGIE: No offense,

but I think your lack of Zs

has made you delirious.

What are we waiting for, Dad?

Hey, everybody, sorry I'm late.

[ quietly groans]

No worries.

I'm glad you're here.

Me too.

[ gagging]

NOELANI: So, Otto, I hear you're taking Oahu by storm.

Yup.

I know you're anxious to surf the pipe,

but what's been your favorite part of Hawaii so far?

Don't know.

Okay...

What about you, Reggie?

The luau was pretty fun, I guess.

There it is!

[ helicopter whirring]

OTTO: Dad, turn around!

You just passed the helicopter port.

I know.

Noelani and I checked

the weather report this morning.

Flying conditions aren't safe.

Say what?!

REGGIE: But it's a perfect day.

How can it not be safe?

The wind's so strong, the helicopters

flop all over the place.

Whatever!

We'll drive around the island.

It'll be just as fun.

That's not exactly what we had planned.

We'll do the helicopter ride some other time.

[ kissing]

REGGIE: Ready to tear up the valley?

You know it.

We have a totally weak morning to make up for.

Yeah, too bad about that wind factor.

It's so strong, it just might blow out a birthday candle.

Moving on.

Where are we racing to?

Around the mountain twice, then back.

Want to surrender now, Otto?

Get it over with?

A little advice, Reg?

Prepare to be humiliated.

[ engine revving]

Time out.

You're not racing without pads and helmets.

Yes!

I mean, a little extra padding never hurt anybody.

OTTO: The sign says, "Helmets required, padding optional,"

so I'm exercising my option not to wear it.

Then you can wait in the wings.

[ growls]

Why do you pick now,

while we're on vacation,

to start being all overprotective, Raymundo?

KEONI: Talk about taking safety measures to the extreme.

SQUID: At least we're covered if something bad happens...

something... beyond... our control.

OTTO: This is so budget!

How am I supposed to drive when I can barely move?

LEILANI: Am I moving?

I can't tell.

REGGIE: If you're not, I'm not either.

TWISTER: I think I'm actually going under the speed limit.

OTTO: Yeah, no miles per hour.

[ tires squealing]

What are you doing, Otto?

Losing the extras.

You the man!

And now for the real race.

[ revving engine]

[ all cheering]

[ tires squealing]

Whoa!

[ all screaming]

[ screaming]

Ooh, ooh--

I thought that was the brake!

Whoa!

[ revs engine]

[ tires squeal]

[ engines approaching]

How was the ride, little cuzzes?

It was okay.

Let's get moving.

I have a surprise for you.

Banzai Pipeline...

So what's the surprise?

Sharks? Stingrays? Caves?

A picnic lunch.

Aw, great.

Lighten up, players, there's a sick break

within spitting distance from here.

Well, what are we waiting for?

Let's log some tube time!

You guys go ahead.

I'm not really up for surfing.

You're coming, aren't you, Dad?

No, I think I'll stick around

and keep Noelani company.

RAY: Wow, cool!

[ laughs]

KEONI: I told you she'd deliver.

Chilly, sweet swells that could make a grown man cry.

Let's rip!

[ all cheering]

Hey, guys, who am I?

[ in high voice]: Ooh-hoo-hoo, I can't go in.

The water... it's so dangerous!

Me?

No, Squid,

I'm being No-e-lame-o.

Don't you think you're harshing out

on her a little, Otto?

My dad said she totally mastered pipe a million years ago.

Two words for you, Leilani--

"no" and "way."

OTTO: I'd buy the menehunelegend

before I'd believe that one.

It's true.

She was tandem surfing with her best...

I believe Iwas telling the story?

Noelani and her partner were surfing pipe

on a day when the waves were mad-brutal.

Then...

[ screaming]

Her partner was never seen again.

[ all gasping]

No wonder she goes "agro"

when we do anything remotely exciting.

Maybe I've blamed the wrong person.

Then who should we blame?

TWISTER: Hello?

They're small... they have pointy ears...

they're a menace to society?

[ both laughing]

Whoa!

Maybe you should think about getting your feet wet.

The little cuzzes are looking forward to spending time

with their big cuz.

Huh?

TITO: Go surf with the kids for a while.

Trust me, Noelani will be here

when you get back.

Need some help?

[ groans]

Whoo!

TITO: If anybody's interested,

I'm going to go sign up for the Miss Hawaii Pageant.

Got to get fitted

for some sparkly dresses...

get my nails done

and spray some,

uh... hair spray on my butt

so my bikini doesn't ride up.

Yup, that's what I'm going to do.

Just like old times...

not!

Be back in time for lunch.

Have fun.

See you later.

Twister, come quick!

What's the emergency?

See for yourself.

[ moaning]

Do you think the menehune

are haunting me?

Could be.

But... but...

what did I ever do to them?

You don't have to do anything.

They're equal opportunity haunters.

Guys!

You've got to see this!

Check it out!

What are we looking at?

Menehunefootprints?

Twist, you should worry less about the little elf people

and more about the fact

that you still smell like French fries.

[ sniffing]

Yeah, you've got menehune on the brain.

Keoni's lived here his whole life

and he's never seen one.

Good thing we didn't tell him

about the one-eyed akua.

Seven-foot monster with one giant eye

in the middle of his face

and he lives in the woods

and eats humans!

It's official--

I'm never going to sleep again!

[ snoring]

That was great, Noelani.

I am so full!

I told you she made the best pineapple upside-down cupcakes.

Thanks, guys, I'm glad you liked them.

Did everyone have enough?

Otto? Reggie? Tito?

ALL: Yup.

Ready for another surprise?

A picnic dinner?

How do you feel about a catamaran ride to Shark's Hole?

[ quietly]: Do we have to wear padding?

I'm sure we don't...

as long as we're moving in slow motion.

[ all cheering]

Now, this is what I'm talking about.

[ retching]

RAY: Remember the last time

we went to Shark's Hole, Tito?

Man, that shook me up.

We were scuba diving near the reef.

Tito, Wild Bill, Noelani and your mom.

OTTO: I don't know if I believe it.

I think I need a second opinion.

It's true, kids,

we were almost shark bait.

Those sharks looked more like dolphins to me.

Tito, they were a foot away from us.

I know you saw them.

Everybody's got a photographic memory--

some just don't have film.

Sorry, Raymundo, I'm not buying it.

If you guys ride the turtles,

don't hold on too long

or you won't have time to come back up.

Aren't you coming with us,

Noelani?

No, thanks.

I'll just watch.

Why won't you get in the water, Noelani?

What's your problem?

Back off, Rocketboy.

OTTO: I just want to know why she can't go in.

She obviously doesn't want to.

Right, and let me guess.

You're going to stay here with her.

Good idea.

Thanks, Otto.

Bring on the buckets.

Raymundo bails again.

[ sniffles]

Otto's way down there!

[ bubbling]

[ bubbling stops]

Why didn't you listen to her?

Oh, I didn't know

I was supposed to take orders from her now!

Why won't the menehunestop messing with us?

[ cackling laughter]

It's them!

[ screams]

This is getting creepy.

At least we're going home soon

and we'll never have to see No-e-lame-o again.

I know for a fact the menehune are out to get us.

I know, and we're going anyway.

[ groaning]

Help!

OTTO: Reggie, where are you?!
